View or Install Modules, Kits or Updates

CareTracker Modules, Kits, Feature Packs or Updates can be installed or imported from the Resource Systems on-line catalog or from a file saved on your computer.

To Install or Import a Kit or Update

The user must have a security setting that allows installation of kits or updates.

  1. From the Administration menu, click View or Install Modules, Kits or Updates.
  2. Under Common Tasks, choose "Browse Resource Systems Catalog" or "Install Update from File."
  3. If installing from a file, click Browse and double-click the kit to be installed, and then click OK to install.  The installed kits will appear on the Series/Report Kits tab.
  4. If installing a Series/Report Kit or Feature Pack from the catalog, select the product from the catalog and click the Download Now button. Series/Report Kits will appear on the Series/Report Kits tab and Feature Packs will appear on the Updates tab.

Download Available Items

Occasionally, Resource Systems will release critical updates for the software.  When these become available, the number of available updates will change.  Click the Download Available Items button. The critical update will then appear on the Downloaded Updates tab.  Click the Install button to load the critical update.

Module Licensing

  1. In order to assign facilities to the licensed modules, click the Setup button next to each module.
  2. Check each facility that will be using the selected module.  The number of license(s) allowed or purchased, license(s) installed or checked for facilities, and remaining license(s) are listed.

Parent Modules: Parent modules include CareTracker and ChargeTracker, and it is required that a facility be assigned a license for one of these modules before other modules that have them as a parent can be assigned. For instance, the Messaging module requires a CareTracker license, so if a CareTracker license is not assigned to Facility 1, then Facility 1 will not be permitted to have a Messaging module license assigned to it until it first has a CareTracker license assigned.

Series / Report Kits

All series and/or reports downloaded from the CareTracker Catalog will be listed beneath the Series / Report Kits tab.  Each kit will list a product id and an installation date.

Downloaded Updates

Feature packs downloaded from the CareTracker Catalog can be installed by clicking the install button beside the Feature pack description.  The Downloaded Updates tab lists Feature Pack descriptions, product id’s, and installation dates.  If a Feature pack is outdated with your current version of CareTracker it is considered ‘deprecated’ and will no longer be available for install.  Feature packs that have been deprecated will have a newer version of the Feature pack available from the CareTracker Catalog.
